NEARLY NEW...s

Hi out there ... from way in here....

NEWS coming very soon, have been creating and have some surprising items....

My Bren Carrion's done and dusted, even managed to cast crew and one piece bren in URETHANE! 

The Covenanters done - What do you call a Troop of Covenanters? Perhaps a Covern?

Excellent tea Urn's.

Have decided to give them some controversial pennants....

The Tug moulded and cast - amazing. Photos when the sun comes out.


Stay Posted.

Rock the Kasbar

Reinforcements have arrived!! Human's!!



Oberleutenant Erik Von Stumpnagel and his trusty Hauptmann order the troops forward, Human's of course need quite some supervision as they are known to fight for both sides! Untrustworthy creatures.... 

Now where did those Brutish go now we have  the troops and armour to MASH them....

Human's...


And Orc's, nothing but trouble when the Kasbar starts rocking.

Nasti S.W.A Stickers

Yes I know it has been a little while since I last 'Blogged' but I have very valid excuses and the stents to prove it! The trouble with two hearts is that you need two operations to fix them.... 
But here at long last are the little buggers. The Gerdwarves so to speak.

I've just now ordered some silicone rubber and Urethane so I have little excuse for not doing a little more a lot more often.

Having decided on some rules and worked out what other items I need

progress should be a little more vapid. 

I have the human allies for the stumpies within reach. Some nice 1/48th Germans from SCARAB miniatures which look the part.

The Brutish meanwhile have some allies of their own!!

No doubt you will be keen to keep updated and follow this blog avidly awaiting future updates available from me in the past. 

I strongly advise you to keep your heads down as these Nasties lob mortar shells your way - OMG and a cup of tea.

All Life MATTER's

We live in interesting times

Times of change, times of uncertainty and trial, times of controversy and new beginnings. The Doctor is in the house. Welcome to my nightmare...

 Creating anything a bit different takes a splash of madness and a dollop of enthusiasm, sometimes a big dollop :) 

After all why would 

any serious gamer want a Dwarf and Orc army! Only you know that, I mean it's not half as mad as my other cupboard items :)


But as for cuteness they are well beyond anything much else I've seen recently and no doubt as an added bonus they could be played with some very special rules, only limited by our imagination. So if you are following along do drop a post we really are quite friendly here and while I have a list of masters that may take some time to get through your ideas are very welcome here. Express the madness, it MATTER's.

Have your say, come out of the painting cupboard. This is a Demigodacy....

Of SPICS and SPECKS and A Ladd Insane....

As David Bowie once eloquently sung "We love Aladdin Sane" and so it continues.

I mean who would drag a perfectly good boat up onto a grassy knoll crewed by a WW2 Orc?

 So we at the W.H.O decided it was a great idea and here are the results....

The making of a new period in time is not without it;='s hiccup's and glitches, 
it's spicks and specks, all sorts of strange


 and some might say ridiculous ideas need to be 'floated'. A fleet of small boats may be required for a sudden 'evacuation', to push out a Bridgehead or just to puff along in a moment of relative calm.


Transport vehicles may be required


Random thoughts may need to be turned into action. Masters may need to be built, figure ranges commissioned.

Gamer's may need to be encouraged

"You are not a victim, you just scream with boredom, you are not evicting time". 

You should be home by now, you should be home by now. TIME....
I hope you enjoy, feedback always encouraged.

Why Air Brushes never work right....

Having had a reasonably good excuse not to blog for a few days I thought it about time I gave some sage advice on painting, some of you have asked me about it and how it affects the Universe -
 A good friend of mine sent me this e-mail, I'm sure many of you may have suffered similar issues:

Hi


So both my single and double action airbrushes are not working.

The single is not letting anything out and I think that is because the needle is bent; I have a replacement.

The double is getting blowback from something. I wonder if that means the “O” ring is buggered.

I think my clumsiness with things that are delicate does not help.

If it is ok, once we are allowed to circulate again, I might bring my stuff up for a visit to see if you can help. I need a bit of guidance, as I don’t really use it enough to be familiar.

How is life in lockdown anyway?

Phil


If you have been following the blog so far you may relate to my answer:

Hi Phil I do understand your frustration with the airbrushes, I can tell you I have been there...been there...bugger...been there


I'm always happy to spend some time where I can help, major thing with an airbrush, a sodding airbrush is to allow for the clean up time which is often more than the bloody job itself which is why I often store up the size of jobs I do with them. No doubt if you come over I will have saved up some jobs but my airbrush will spit and fart and pack a sad anyway. :)

Lock down should be perfectly good for me it's very similar to my normal life:)

Unfortunately I just caught up with Miriam having a nasty heart attack thingy and having to be flown on the back of an old table in the middle of the night the 100 miles to Welly for surgery. Obviously not a good look when they are sitting their with their "BOSE" headphones and offer you something a child probably just wore that had been thrown out by a $2 shop.

Anyway I now have a bit of an old biro stuck inside me and because they have lots of broken biro springs laying around they want to stick lots of needles into me again which hurt about as much as a sodding heart attack, ask me lot of times if I can remember my own birthday which I find mildly insulting given my IQ, when they didn't even manage to get the spelling of my name, my address or even my next of kin right once in the three wristband changes that they had to do, not once, they want to repeat the procedure to use up their quota of biro springs.

I wouldn't mind so much if the ride home hadn't been in the back of an ice cream truck without even a sandwich, cuppa or even a thin blanket. Still I can't complain as it was just over 24 hours since a fairly major medical procedure which by some stroke of luck I had survived before the two hour scenic excursion facing backwards without any company or anyone checking on me, to be greeted with disinterest in the cardiac ward at Palmy by a surly young 'lady' who announced she wasn't running a motel, funny that thought had never occurred to me either. All I had asked for was a cuppa and something to eat as it was around 2pm and I naively thought sick people probably required some form of sustenance to help make them feel a bit better.

Anyway I digress, we can work through the airbrush issues hopefully either before my body or the hospital has another go at killing me ðŸ™‚🙂

What use is a Tardigan without any Oil?

As the world descends towards Chaos I thought it was about time for an update. Obviously being a little unhinged due to the effects of time travel I may tend towards a little drivel from 'time' to 'time'.

So of course the question of our times should I present my data in logarithmic or linear mode, one 'flattens the curve' and the other nasty one shows it as it is...

I do of course understand that some of you view "time" in a linear fashion, yesterday, today, tomorrow, henceforth from now on but with a Tardigan I have the luxury of moving through time to a parallex Universe. Hey hey you say I must have that wrong do I mean parallel......

But NO Parallex from a different 'view point' not parallel co-existing in time and space.

Having cleared that up before having a cuppa best I get on with a bit of humour (note spelled in Brutish for my Ameriorc fiends) else I will lose my audience and become yet another nonentity lost on the Instanet.

So where is this Blog going I hear you scream, What is a Tardigan and why does it need oiling? 

Lets not get ahead of ourselves should we, I am literally from your future and there are things best left until another day......
